WAXED MILK-BOTTLE STOPPER MADE OF PAS'IEBOARD.

Application filed April 22, 1926, Serial No. 103,948, and in Canada September 21, 1925.

Our invention is a pasteboard milk bottle stopper constructed in such a Way as to enable the stopper to be removed by the thumb and finger Without the thumb or finger coming in contact in any way with the milk. Thus it is perfectly sanitary. It also eliminates the spilling of milk as is usually the casewhen a stopper is removed by means of plunging stopper down into the bottle on one end to grasp the other end. It does away with the use of a knife or other article in removing. As the tongue is threaded from the centre of stopper, the pull is chiefly at the centre. Thus the danger of tearing, when removing stopper, is avoided. The fact that the tongue or lifter is brought up thru the stopper, prevents it interfering with the edge. The slits being of the same size (length) as distance across the tongue or litter, there is no chance of air getting in. When the stopper is placed in the bottle, the little tongue or lifter because it extends beyond the edge of stopper, will therefore remain up resting on the edge of mouth of bottle. Then it is easy to grasp tongue with thumb and finger, give it a little pull and the stopper is out.

We attain these objects by the mechanism threaded thru slits 2 and 3 as follows :-Up-

per end (S of the tongue is inserted down thru slit 2 in stopper. Then same end 6 is brought up again thru slit 3. This leaves cross section t and upper end 6 showing on top side o1 stopper. Upper end 6 projects a little beyond edge of stopper.

that we claim as our invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent is A new and useful closure for a bottle or jar consisting of a disc showing two slots, one thru centre, the other near the edge and parallel to first slot, and a tongue detachably secured to disc by a neccssarilr larger portion at one end, the other end thereof being passed thru said slots to form an extractor pad or tab.
